Observe as if a StrangerObserve as if a Stranger..
Pretend you have never been on this shore before.
Look at things from different locations. Note what most impresses you or is
unique to the area. Look for changes in the skyline and
check them out from seaward.

Be very CuriousBe very Curious!!
What do you see that makes sense?
Could you navigate with the data shown on the charts and Coast Pilot?
Does the Light List agree with what you observe?

Document what is Important!Document what is Important!
The person who will read your report has never seen the area.
Imagine this person without your vast knowledge and report clearly and totally.
Never assume local knowledge.

Document as for a StrangerDocument as for a Stranger!!
Be explicit!
Include tide, currents, Lat/Lon, depths, chartlets, graphs, drawings, photographs.
Tell a complete story in a few words.

Check Local KnowledgeCheck Local Knowledge
What landmarks do the locals use when fishing or lobstering?
Are there any unreported rips and rocks?
Is there a better small craft channel used by locals?

Note the date and time of every event and verification that you perform.
In your photos, try to include a charted object in the background as a reference point.
Orient your reference points to a specific chart or other nautical document.

Different Agencies have Different Agencies have different responsibilitiesdifferent responsibilities::
Sent a separate report for each agency or publication involved.
i.e.... One for the chart people and one for the Coast Pilot people.

AgenciesAgencies NOAA - Publishes nautical charts and the
Coast Pilot. US Army Corps of Engineers - Does
specifications and reports on navigable waters.
DOD - Defense Mapping Agency - Publishes nautical charts and Weekly Notice to mariners.
U.S. Coast Guard - Publishes the Light List, LNM, and the NAV Rules.

PERSISTENCEPERSISTENCE NOAA is chiefly concerned with
seamarks. Landmarks are less important to large vessels.
However, if a landmark is important to the local mariner and is not recognized, be persistent.
![Page 14: USCG Auxiliary Chart Updating Program Create CU reports that make a difference!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/5697bf881a28abf838c89a25/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ACCURACYACCURACY Only report when you can document an item
beyond a reasonable doubt. Insure that all your supporting documentation
is detailed and as accurate as possible. Know the standards of accuracy expected by
the agency. Document how you took measurements and
the tools that you used.
![Page 15: USCG Auxiliary Chart Updating Program Create CU reports that make a difference!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/5697bf881a28abf838c89a25/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lives over AccuracyLives over Accuracy Saving lives and property is our
business. Use this criteria:– Can a vessel go aground?– Will a vessel hit a rock?– Could a vessel miss the entrance?– Are there shore facilities that could
provide a rescue platform but are not charted or listed?

Where to Look!Where to Look! From seaward toward the shore. . .
– Most boating accidents happen near shore, especially a lee shore.
– Are groins changing the currents or being covered by high tides?
– Is there new shoaling near marked channels or under or near bridges?
![Page 18: USCG Auxiliary Chart Updating Program Create CU reports that make a difference!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/5697bf881a28abf838c89a25/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
From the Shore:
– Demolished buildings or new construction?
– Sight lines?
– Are entrance jetties being covered at high water?
